Back to School

Keely went back to preschool on Wednesday and was so excited. She has been talking about going back for at least a month now and on the morning of she started asking if we could go at least 2 hours earlier than we were supposed to. I was excited too (of course) but tried to explain that along with having a few new faces in her class she would have a new teacher because her teacher from last year teaches the younger class. When we got there Keely ran into the school; I introduced her to her new teacher and just like that her exuberance was gone and she started looking anxiously around the room. Then, as if by magic it was back! A little light appeared in her eyes and she ran and threw her arms around Miss Beth, her assistant teacher from last year who had moved up to assist with the older class. Keely ended up having a great time, liked her new teacher too and can’t wait to get back on Monday. Thank goodness for good teachers and the comfort of familiarity on the first day!
